I am not sure it does turn right then left.
However we would be better of without it.

My last post did not add to the debate, I had just visited a thread that had stalled, a new post was my reason.
It both diverted the thread totally from its subject and for about the one hundred time was aimed at stirring me.
I just have to say it, why?
Respect, such a small word but some do not even begin to understand it.
Symptoms of something of more concern than bad manners are sometimes on display why?
In truth I think far more than me are in that refugee camp, maybe in time it will work.
A wander into old threads, a look at the miss use of them may convict us all but it will highlight a trend too.

Funny enough it happened again.
No reason to be surprised it happens very often.
Tell me my fellow posters am I too sensitive? or is it as I think wrong to divert every thread?
It looks to be rule number one do not divert threads but it happens most times , if it does not add to the general direction of the thread why do it?
Mutual respect while debating is not shown by some.

Debating a subject is fun, or at least it should be.
Anyone against a debate is either hiding something or is too stupid or ignorant to persue a particular matter, I prefer to think the latter.
Having mutual respect for another and for his/her comments, is good gesture in conversation,debacle,topic of discussion and so forth.

Should one hold grievance, grudge or ill feelings toward another...tough!, take it, sift through it, dont't like it,discard it!

Thats my motto and stick by it, who are those to think they are better than anyone else on any subject? I know of Phd's who can't even ride a bicycle, cannot sign their own name and have flunked at Science, yet managed to obtain a doctorate!

So to those who THINK they know better [deleted for breaching forum rules.]

That SPANKY is not debate.
I have however seen you do so and in threads that are a debate about behavior here.
It is not cool to be rude, or for that matter crude.
The subject was room to debate and in some ways a reminder that we are all on display in every post.
I do hold grievances, but very few of them, in any subject any one can have the answer, if they are allowed to have an opinion.
Some value only opinions that are the same as the ones they hold.
My words, all our words, in print often look to say something other than I wanted them to.
But trash talking is rarely on my list regarding the value of a post.
It is however the complex number of views and opinions that make the forum worth reading and differences of opinion are not wrong.
Why education got into your post has me stumped, I passed with flying colors in returning the milk bottles and burning the rubbish.
Those to are the only memory's of my bush school and education.
